Flat Lucas Flies to Houston

The flight from Seattle to Boston was a long one: 2,489 miles and over 5 hours long. Now Flat Lucas and I were set to fly to Houston, Texas. Unlike our flight to Boston, which was nonstop, our flight to Houston stops in New York City at JFK Airport, the busiest airport in the country!

Boston is the pink tack on the map, New York City is the green tack, and Houston, Texas is the light blue tack. Our flight takes us from the East Coast to the heart of the Southland.

Our flight left at 6:30AM, so Flat Lucas and I had to get up at 4AM. Flat Lucas was not used to getting up so early so he slept most of the flight. I didn't have the heart to wake him during the flight, but I snapped some photos from the plane anyway so Flat Lucas could see what he missed.




The flight to New York City was 191 miles. The flight from New York to Houston was 1,415 miles. So the total travel distance to Houston from Boston was 1,606 miles.

So far, Flat Lucas has flown 4,095 miles with me--not including the flight he likely took in the mail from Minnesota to Seattle. To put this in perspective, a drive from Flat Lucas' house in Dodge Center to Grandma and Grandpa Walker's house in Albert Lea is approximately 55 miles. So, 4,095 miles is like driving back and forth from Flat Lucas's home to Grandma and Grandpa's home 75 times!

The drive from Flat Lucas's home to Grandpa and Grandma Walker's home is approximately 55 miles.
